They probably will find evidence now. The thing is, it's a substantially different charge than the one Trump first made. Trumps original charge was
that Obama personally ordered wiretapping of Trump. The second, now amended charge is that the Obama Administration conducted surveilance of the
candidates.

Well.. looks like no evidence. It's obvious this was just more angry tweeting by the leader of our country. Makes me sad to even see what I just
wrote. But.. it's true, he didn't have proof, he is now hoping someone will -find- proof, although they haven't produced any on the date set to do
so.

Now Trump is trying to backpedal to a point where his allegations can be perhaps slightly overlap the truth, so he has an out. Because the last thing
Trump will do is apologize, or admit he is wrong.

But White House spokesman Sean Spicer said Mr Trump maintains his claims.
"He stands by it," Mr Spicer said at a daily news briefing on Thursday.
The press secretary also refused to accept the Senate Intelligence Committee report, saying "they're not findings".

He made the claim as a fact. Which means whatever they're looking for he already has or knows. That is how it works. You can't state something is a
fact then look for the poof to make it so. You have the proof first then make that statement.

If they're looking to validate his statement then that means he lied when stating it was a fact and is now hoping someone will be able to prove him
right.

See what happens when you let people in power lie about stuff and get away with it.

I do. As society we apparently do not. I get people being sick and tired of the establishment thus we now have Trump. It seems like he pushes the
wrong button while draining the swamp though, because instead of draining it he has now injected more mud. I'm oh so confident that all those
billionaires have a deep and truly heartfelt desire to lookout for the average working person. It's just too bad that Trump's first labor nominee, who
IIRC referred to his company's employees as "the best of the worst", didn't get the job!

Congress has pretty much closed the book on this investigation with the rebuke from Burr and Warner. That makes all four authorities on intelligence
within Congress disagreeing with Trump's claim. At this point to think there is still something behind Trump's claim is willful ignorance.

Tell me something. Doesn't this sound suspiciously like "I sent some guys to Hawaii. You won't believe what they're finding. You just won't believe
it." ??
How much can someone' lie to you before you realize that they're a liar and simply is not deserving of your trust?
He does not deserve the trust you've given to him. He's lied to you.

Did you or anyone you know get Ebola?
No they didn't. Unless you know one of the seven or so people in this country who were health care workers who contracted the disease that's a pretty
lame thing to say.

He certainly did call for an investigation.
Oh and in case you haven't noticed and you obviously didn't notice the fact that these things are impossible to prove because they are not true. He
calls for an investigation into things that can't be proven because it makes it look like he's outraged and doing something.
Who's still looking for that proof of the millions of votes? Oh no one that's who. We've moved on. But it's never been proven. Because it never
happened.
